Paragon brings SlovoEd dictionaries to Android

Paragon Software, which is famous for its line of mobile dictionaries, released a series of SlovoEd explanatory and bilingual dictionaries for Android-powered phones.

Included in the series are English explanatory and 8 bilingual (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) dictionaries, with lexical databases being provided by Oxford University Press, Ernst Klett Sprachen GmbH, Chambers Harrap Publishers LTD, Larousse Editorial S.L. and other leading world publishers.

Again, Paragon used its SlovoEd technology to make sure database is compressed and well optimized, enabling quick search, “History,” cross linking, and other features.

SlovoEd dictionaries for Android are available in three editions:

  • SlovoEd Deluxe, which offers the most comprehensive and detailed content with usage samples, synonyms and antonyms, references and transcriptions, as well as other important linguistic information.
  • SlovoEd Classic’s dictionary articles contain the most frequently used references and are sufficient to assist in business, travel and study.
  • SlovoEd Compact contains the most common and basic translations with clear, concise definitions.

SlovoEd Deluxe edition dictionaries are available for $24.95, SlovoEd Classic edition for $14.95 and SlovoEd Compact edition for $9.95. You can grab them either through Paragon’s website or from Android Market.

About The Author

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
